Welcome to Day Two of the In a Word Blog Hop. When I signed up for this blog hop, I had no idea what I wanted to do with this project. We are supposed to reveal things about ourselves with the word or words we choose. I am horrible about describing myself so I turned to those who know me best. I asked my hubby and my closest girl friends to use one word to describe me...and to forgive the narcissistic request. I was dumbfounded.
I could not believe how highly these people thought of me. Surely they cannot be describing me? I thought it over for a long time and decided that maybe I could humbly try on these superlative traits...literally. Thus, the security bracelet. Linus had his blanket, and now I have a bracelet to wear when I am needing a small or incredibly large boost to the self esteem.
The awesome Scarlett Von Black from Tula Pink's Nightshade is on the outside,(for some reason I think she resembles me slightly) and all of those fantastic words are on the inside up against my skin. I love it!
The words are: commanding, confident, capable, genuine, charismatic, strong, warm, and unsinkable. Do I have them all fooled or what?
Many thanks to Madame Samm and to the lovely Linda for pulling this terrific event together. Thank you for visiting me today. Please make sure to visit the rest of the words at these blogs:

ReplyDeleteWell, one about them of course...such a comfort to those prone to 'mama-ittus'. sowingstitches[at]gmail[dot]com
Love this! What a great reminder that we matter..... that we are usually seen for our good qualities, not the ones that we try and cover up. We are always hardest on ourselves!
ReplyDeleteVery cool...
ReplyDeleteGreat confidence booster! Thanks for sharing!

Great idea making a bracelet, but you should have put the words on the outside so everyone can see them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! You should add "creative"!!!
ReplyDeleteThey have honored you with their words - truly expressive and rewarding - the bracelet is perfect. Judy C
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Linda - 'you should add creative!'
That is such a neat idea :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic words and yes you should definitely add "creative"!
What a great idea! It's nice to be reminded of what others think of us. You must be a blessing to your family and friends.

Great idea and would make a nice thoughtful gift.
ReplyDeleteHi!!! What a great way to use your words!!! Very pretty as a bracelet!!!
ReplyDeleteAww.. that's great and the words against your skin, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch great words--your friends were very sweet and obviously see who you really are. Nice bracelet...it does look like you!
ReplyDeleteI love the security bracelet. What a fun way to remind yourself you are all of those superlative adjectives. We women often think far less of ourselves than others. Nice way to remind yourself, especially on "down" days.
ReplyDeleteGreat bracelet , really creative idea and a great way to describe yourself . Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOh! another Great Idea, from another Great Blogger from "In The Words". Love your creative wristlet.
ReplyDeleteFabulous this is a great hop to express our womanhood and you did it girl.
ReplyDeletehow lovely, what a great way to remember how fabulous you really are.
ReplyDeleteA great reminder to remember what your friends think of you.
ReplyDeleteCute idea, could be used as a mug holder or cuppa cover ???
ReplyDeleteGmama jane
What a perfectly wonderful idea! I bet my daughters would love this - I'm going to brainstorm on words I would use to describe them. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeletewhat a neat gift idea. I work with emotionaly disturbed children think this would be a great exercise for them.
ReplyDeleteHow serendipitous! You join a challenge to have fun and learn something very important about yourself! Rock on, you wonderful friend and wife!!!
ReplyDeletegreat idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I think the Tula fabric is a perfect choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project! Thanks for sharing!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea and how fun!! Thanks.

Love your bracelet and know you deserve all those wonderful words. Wonderful way to incorporate "words".
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing to find out how people think about you. It is never what you thought it would be. Thanks for sharing with your lovely bracelet.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love that they are words from others about you! You should add one word of your own!
ReplyDeleteIt's really a surprize how other people see us isn't it!
ReplyDeleteI should make you feel good that other people think so highly of you. You must be a very special person.
ReplyDeleteLove this and hope that you grow to see your yourself in the same way that others do!
ReplyDeleteSometimes others know us better than we know ourselves. When I told my doctor I was talking to my ex-husband, he told me that after all the years that we were married to each other, he probably knows me better than I know myself in lots of ways. Please take to heart the way others see you and learn to love you in the same ways.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea! And the best part is the everytime you wear it...you can take on the world!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - and I love how you put the words on the inside - closest to you, almost makes them more meaningful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Very cute! Love nightshade :)
ReplyDeleteVery creative idea! You don't have your friends/hubby fooled,they just know the real you :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea about the braclet. I did a scrap book page of me with words for my 70th Birthday. I had asked my family of 8 children to describe me in one or two words. I was astounded, surprised and somewhat pleased with their responses. My youngest who is 27 said I was an Inspiration and she wanted me to stay around so I could inspire her children too. Wow did that make my head swell, lol btw I have 30 grandkids & 17 great grand kids - My 2 youngest at 33 & 27 still have no kids yet. I agree with CeLynn your family know the real you.
ReplyDeletefun idea. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! Love it! You have some great words and I love that they are on the inside for direct skin contact, hehe. I'd love to try your idea. Thank you for sharing your project with us, great job!
ReplyDeleteSo clever!!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I think we all need one. Great idea to ask others..we seldom see ourselves as others do.
